Hi all, well a few months ago my now ex and I got into an argument (there had been drinking involved which we never did) and my ex got up from the pool flipped out (still doesnt know why he got mad) cussed me out and then promptly ran back to our apartment and started packing his things to leave. I went up to our room and repeatedly tried to ask him why he was mad and WHY he was moving out when he didnt even know why he was mad when he declared that he was going to call the cops.. now my ex was in the army at the time.. so the cops arrived and I was down stairs sobbing on the couch and the officers thought it was a good idea to take me upstairs and make me watch him pack his things to move out. Now I walked over to my ex and said very calmly and quietly stop why are you doing this please just calm down and the officer jumped in between us and started screaming at me.. now I am from the country and we as southern people tend to put our hands out to touch people to calm them down.. well apparently city people dont like that. the officer then threw me on the ground said that I punched him and arrested me for assault and battery of a police officer which is a felony. Now I was released immediately on my own recogicense from jail and attained an attorney immediately who assured me that he had worked in the area for 20 years and this would be no problem to be thrown out.. well $3000 later and no contact from my attorney until the day before court when he told me I would be taking a plea deal and going to jail for 10 days I was a complete wreck.. Now mind you I have never in my life been in a fight or been a violent person nor did I attack the officer in question. My lawyer totally screwed me and in fact told me that the charge was expungable which I have later found out it is not in the state of VA and this will be with me for the rest of my life. Now with that said, does anyone know of any schools in the country that will allow you to go there with an assualt charge and attend clinicals?
